The damp, swampy area provided a migration route for herds of animals.
A natural geographical barrier of ponds and wetlands ran east-west for 90 miles, from within the present Ontario peninsula to where Rochester sits today. A two-mile-wide corridor that penetrated the barrier became a natural migratory route that appears to have attracted animals and the Clovis people that followed them.

Human habitation was also documented from the Ice Age. Laub said these people were called the Clovis, a pre-historic Paleo-Indian culture who left their mark at Hiscock in the form of tools: 47 fluted points of gutting knives, some made from stone and others from the bones of dead animals.

Laub also said that scientific evidence regarding these animals has determined that 100 percent of the late Ice Age mastodons were infected with tuberculosis, a finding that had never before been detected through fossil evidence. He mentioned this disease was a pandemic effect of the extreme weather conditions but wasn't responsible for their extinction.

I'd like to know how they arrive at the 100% figure though.

Close enough to breathe the same air?
